The word "Eucharist" means "Thanksgiving." How appropriate to begin your family celebration of Thanksgiving by sharing in the Eucharist.

Mass on Thanksgiving Day, Thursday November 27, will be at 7:30 and 10:30am. The 311 Garage will be open for the 10:30 Mass.

The holiday season will soon be upon us. The pace of life will accelerate. Wedged between Thanksgiving and Christmas is the marvelous season of ADVENT, an opportunity to slow down and reflect on how to be more open to the coming of Christ. 

One way to truly enter into the spirit of Advent is to join the Bible Study, which will focus on the Sunday Scriptures of Advent. The group will meet on four Monday evenings from 6:00 - 7:15, beginning November 24.
